THE BUNCOMBE STOCK LAW.

Messrs. Editors Allow me al brief
space in your valuable columns t1 offer
suggestion on the stock law. Would
not all dissension on this Ueratd qlesttO
be hushed, and peace and good will
among neighbors be restored, were every
township or part of township which
desired to be exempt from the proEisions
of the law, be permitted to do 80, upon
such township or part of township, pay
ing the cash and expense of fencing it
off, from such adjacent townships
might be easily raised by tax, on the
horses, cattle, sheep, and dogs of the
good people, who desired their live stock
of the above description to run at large
and Craze at will, on territory irrespective
of ownership. Some of the wealthy
Cattle Kings who drive their stock to
townships remote from their places of
residence and home acres would contri-
butte literally to this tax, besides the
large population rejoicing in the luxury
of pack of ours would from this valu-
able species of property-willingly con-
sent to per capita tax-Which would be
sufficient to build Chinese wall and
effectually protect the townshiri parts
of to Il iIstii s WHICH, may De IN state OF
nature and as bare of fences as a peeled
onion. Mr.. Pearson's coIored constitu-
ency would cheerfully give the price of a
pup or two for so iaudable purpose.
Let us wipe out the past-bury the
fence of discord-commence a new leaf,
as though no fences had ever been built,
with the land in state of nature. This
is equitable and just, beaEs alike on all,
and free from all just cause of complaint.

The New Plan for Coast
Defence.

General Sheridan eXpIaIns at
length the plan for defending our
coast with sunken forts from which
the heaviest ordinance can be used
with but little risk to the gunners,
as the pieces are lowered under
ground the moment after firing.
There have been many designs for
such defensive works, but the seris
Gus part of it is that it takes so long
to construct them, and Congress is
so slow in taking the proper steps.
1t is almost farcical that such a
great country should all this time
be lying at the mercy OF any third
class power that happens to possess
even asecond-class navy, and should
take a fancy to. make war on US.
General Sheridan explains at length
that he gets the idea from the un-
derground monitors he built on the
plains to defend the stage stations
before the Pacific railroad was built;
'and ever since the successful use 6
those defensive pits" continued
General Sheridan, 81 have been op-
posed to putting up marks which
can be fired at, such as iron turrets
and heavy works generally, for these
cost great deal of money, and sim.
ply make targets for an enemy's
artillery. The true way, I believe;
is to conceal your guns and your
men, for, what is important, this
can be done cheaply and quickly"

A STOLEN HORSE RECOVERED.

On Tuesday night Mr.. A. M. Brown,
an old citizen of Big Ivy, had valuable
horse in the stables of the Banner Ware
house. About 9 O'Clock at night Mr..
Brown went out to see about his horse
and found that he was not in the stall
He searched for him several hours and
again next morning, but could find no.
thing of him, and walked back home, a
good distance for SO aged man. During
Wednesday morning Mr.. /. S. Wilcox
found loose horse near his stables, with
only a halter on, but bearing evidence OF
having been ridden hard. He put him
in his stables, and advertised the fact in
the CITIZEN. Yesterday Mr.. Brown,
having seen the advertisement, came into
town, recognized the horse as his, paid
damages, and returned home happier
man.
The moral of this fact is that sharp
lookout should be placed on their horses
at night by our citizens.

Monday of last week the question came
before the Senate on second reading. In
meantime substitute was introduced
amending in certain material points and
defined lines the stock law bill passed
two years ago. Both the Pearson bill
and the substitute were referred back to
the committee. On Wednesday this
committee reported to the Senate advis-
! ing the passage of the substitute, Messrs.
Taylor and Terrell dissenting from the
majority report. Up to yesterday the
Senate had not further considered the
question. but the opinion of those &C
quainted with legislation, and who
know the sentiment of the Senate, be-
lieve the substitute will be adopted over
